In this book, German philosopher Julian Nida-Rümelin presents a theory of practical reason that is objectivist, or rather realist, as an alternative to the widespread subjectivism in the theory of rationality. This theory has pragmatic traits that can be read as a constructive counterpart to Nida-Rümelin's critique of consequentialism whilst embedding its conception of rationality in the conceptual framework of decision and game theory.

Julian Nida-Rümelin is professor emeritus of philosophy and political theory at the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Germany. He is member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. He was state minister for culture and media in the first government of Gerhard Schröder.
